How about beating a sword into a plowshare?

I don’t usually post on the weekend but how could I pass up a story like this? A pastor in Ghana had to run for his life after he failed to turn his walking stick into a snake as he predicted he would. The man deserves credit for stepping out of the ministry, and we can be thankful that his church was small to begin with. There will be others of the same variety to replace him and we should be in much prayer for the soundness of the church. Now here’s the question. How many of us can say why this should not have been attempted?
